I originally believed NBA 2K23's rating would be 2k23 mt favorable to the Chicago Bulls after a bounceback year that saw the team secure two All-Star bids in Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan as well as an All Rookie Team selection including Ayo Dosunmu and an All-NBA honor for DeRozan.

Unfortunately, I couldn't be more wrong. There are a number of players on the Chicago Bulls have been docked points to their rating in comparison to in the last season, no player receiving a 90 overall score or higher.15 players from the league had a score of 90 or greater, indicating the consensus opinion around all of the players is that Bulls don't have a real star that could lead Chicago to winning. Except for Chicago's AllStar team, 2K seems overall dismissive of the talent on this team.

Despite the fact that Michael Jordan graces the front cover, NBA 2K23 couldn't be more off in its assessment of how great these players from the current Chicago Bulls are.2K has four currently Bulls players ranked among the best 100 players in the sport.

DeRozan and LaVine are in the 19th and 23rd places respectively, and Nikola Vucevic is ranked No. 59. Lonzo Ball comes in at No. 73. A bit surprising, Andre Drummond is rated as Chicago's fifth-best player , and is also barely missing the cut.

The roster's rating is unremarkable. The Bulls backcourt take huge hits, as Alex Caruso, Coby White and Dosunmu are all downgraded one point , when common sense says cheap mt 2k23 they should be better than next season.
